How to Anodise Aluminium at home [how i anodised at home]

[@isidoromaich7226]

I saw a few videos about anodizing but your is the most comprehensive and you gave some tips I never saw before. My wife saw me watching this 3 times and said: I see you coming., now you will be anodizing every single piece of aluminium on this home. 😅

[@TunaTomgavin]

I watched your video here about a dozen times. I bought everything needed and my first sample piece worked great. I"ve since done several parts I wanted Anodized, and they all turned out better than expected. One thing I've noticed is temp. seems very important. I did one batch that the acid (Sodium bisulfite) bath temp. was only 65 degrees F. and they didn't do as well. The 140 degree F. die (Caswell die) was very slow to penetrate. Since then I've done several more with the acid bath at 78 - 80 degrees F. with exellent results. ***** Thanks so much for your very informative video. I would recommend this process to anyone wanting to anodize aluminum.

Thanks for feedback and adittional info, i set once too high amp and leave when come back acid got about 60 degree, problem was that solution start evapurate and every steel part in workshop become rusty. I bealive as you say about 30 degree C is the key for good result, if it's too hot h2so4 will cristalize that happen to me when it was overheaten.

[@scottstalcup9530]

You're super awesome! You explain this in such an extravagant way of being quite detailed yet settled I'm picking up all the little notes and I can't wait to get started on trying anodizing myself.

[@christophercharles9645]

The parts came out looking great and it looks like the best solution for small batch situations or if you wanted to test a few different colors. Nice job!

[@KeithZim]

Mind Blown. Our cloths dryers in the US do not have tanks to capture the water. Oh and learning how something is done is awesome too!

[@TinC33]

Really so you need a drain to plug them?

[@sidewind131258]

You do have them, they are called condensating dryers

[@sidewind131258]

What he refers to are old style dryers noncondensating / Sklicuje se na stari sušilni stroj brez kondenzacije

[@robmurg]

A portable dehumidifier is another good source of distilled water. Maybe air-conditioning? Not sure about the latter.

[@TinC33]

@@robmurg true, i just renovate my house and while dry walls with dehumidifier there come lot of destilated water, that one i used for mixed wall paint.

Hola! Vale cualquier tipo de aleacion de aluminio? O hay alguna "serie" que no sirva?

[@tillmerit8431]

Will anodizing aluminum cause any decreases in aluminum mass? Like if I have a precisely 1.5cm aluminum screw, will the acid eat away at the metal and cause the screw to be smaller? Thank you

[@TinC33]

@@tillmerit8431 it can etche a bit of materiall yes but not so much, like m3 thread will still be usable but the nut heave a bit more backlash on it, it become noticable when we make the process wrong, like too much current lead to higher gemperature of solution, more material etched...

[@nick066hu]

Thank you for the video, I plan to do it myself. Just one question: if I make some error and the part will not look nice (pale color, spots, stripes, not a uniform color, whatever, I think there are possible errors to make especially for a beginner) how can I save the part, ie. can I remove the failed anodizing, or what is proper way of redoing it?

[@TinC33]

Sure just repeat 1 step and all gone.

[@manyirons]

Great video! But I didn't understand the sealing step. How does just boiling in water seal it? (Did I miss something?)

[@TinC33]

Idk but that's it boil in water for a few min.

[@manyirons]

@John Thomas Thank you!

[@Konrad_zx6r]

Hello ! Can i leave my part as it is after part 2 ? So just soak it in sodium hydroxide clean it with destilated water and thats it ? I just want to make my motorcycle handlebars black

[@TinC33]

You can but there will be no protection, aluminium will coroded after time

[@Konrad_zx6r]

@@TinC33 Is there a way to maintain and secure this color ?

[@FratDede]

How can we make brighter surface not matte surface friend?

[@Snakebloke]

I always wanted to know this too!!

[@TinC33]

@@Snakebloke i think it's depend on temperature but don't know more, there are lot of formulas, i think i get brighter surface if i make last step (sealing) direct into painted destilated water, not in basic water, after colouring.

[@mrkalikutista8729]

Nitric acid is difficult to find in my place and expensive too. Is there any substitute for it to remove the black layer in the aluminum? Please someone anwer. Thank you.

[@TinC33]

I think you can skip this step and it work anyway but didn't try so i don't know the result. If you shorten time of first step part also won't be so black

[@mrkalikutista8729]

@@TinC33 my first attempt anodizing failed. So i try removing the dye in sodium hydroxide solution but the material became little black. I want to remove this black coating so i can start again from beginning.

[@pacman10182]

sodium hydroxide is a strong base, not an acid

[@TinC33]

Good to know thanks 🙈

[@sharkcz9279]

can i use 3% HNO3?

[@TinC33]

@@sharkcz9279 try it, if part doesnt turn black in naoh you dont even need this step.

Nebi vedel, če imaš žveplovo je to to, rabiš samo še naoh za čiščenje aluminija kar pa je v dosti čistilih mislim da delujejo razni cevosani in podobno poglej malo po yt, druge ki sem jo jaz uporabil ne rabiš ta korak pac izpustiš.

Hvala, žal nebi vedel, kje se lahko kupi, zna bit problem, sam sem dobil v nekem laboratoriju, sem pa nekaj bral da uporabljajo tisto ki se dobi za akumulatorje, sam je drugačn % je treba mal prekalkulirat pri mešanju. Lp
